  Operating environment - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
An Operating environment, in computer software, is a GUI front-end which runs on top of an operating system.
One of the most popular operating environments is the earlier versions of Microsoft Windows which ran on MS-DOS.
Other operating environments include KDE, GNOME, FVVM and other Linux front-ends, although these are usually referred to as window managers.

 Better by Design - The Solaris Operating Environment   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
One of the strengths of the Solaris Operating Environment is that it handles the endianness issue so well that customers do not need to be concerned about how quickly their applications will be available on new platforms.
With the Solaris Operating Environment, applications can execute in big- or little-endian mode because both the operating system application programming interfaces and the application itself are consistent in their use of big- or little-endian byte ordering.
The Solaris Operating Environment is better because it is based on a carefully-designed architecture that is compact and built to grow and extend in an evolutionary manner.

 Better by Design - The Solaris Operating Environment   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
The operating environment is built with a small kernel that provides the core set of features required by applications, the CDE windowing system, and their shared libraries.
In the Solaris environment, shared libraries are not part of the kernel; they are part of the user process -- and thus an error in a shared library has the potential to bring down the applications which use it, but not the Solaris environment itself.
The Solaris Operating Environment is self-scaling, from 1 to 64 CPUs per node, from one to four nodes per cluster.

 Solaris Operating Environment - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Solaris Operating System is a computer operating system developed by Sun Microsystems.
Sun's operating system was originally called SunOS, based on BSD Unix.
The term "SunOS" is still used to refer to the underlying operating system itself, and Solaris is considered to be the SunOS operating system plus a graphical user environment, ONC+, and networking and other enhancements.

 Porting UNIX Applications to the Solaris Operating Environment
With the Solaris Operating Environment, SIGIO is sent whenever the socket changes state from empty to non-empty (not whenever new data arrives on the socket).
With the Solaris Operating Environment's POSIX threads, the semantics of alarm() are perprocess, that is, the resulting SIGALRM is sent to the process and not necessarily to the calling thread.

 Should I Move My Application to 64-Bit Solaris OS?
With the phased release of the Solaris operating environment with 64 bits, Sun is preparing to move to a full 64-bit computing environment.
Applications developed for this environment have a long and prosperous future ahead of them, since there is no transition to a 128-bit environment on the horizon.
Sun is the only company offering a 64-bit environment that provides asmooth migration path for customers, preserving their investments and paving the way for the next generation of computing.

 Solaris Operating Environment - Open Encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
The Solaris Operating Environment (OE) (Solaris) is a computer operating system, the proprietary Unix variant developed by Sun Microsystems (Solaris is slated to be released under an OSI certified Open-Source license with the release of Solaris 10 by the fifth week of 2005.)
After version 2.6, Sun dropped the "2." from the name; the most recent versions (as of early 2002) are Solaris 7, the 64-bit Solaris 8, and Solaris 9 which was released May 22, 2002.
It was followed by CDE in Solaris 2.6, and has been changed to GNOME for Solaris 10.

 The On Demand operating environment
More generally, the On Demand operating environment model supports the concept of a service template that uses a mix of component assembly and component customization to realize customizable, composed components that serve as templates for construction of variants of the generic business service represented by the template.
The On Demand operating environment programming model supports outsourcing of service components transparently to the business service builder who merely describes the capabilities expected from a service component used in the assembly rather than describing the particular hosting environment for that component.
Rule and policy externalization is critical to the On Demand operating environment by enabling customization of existing services to meet new business requirements, instead of forcing an implementation from whole cloth for each new service and solution.

 Adaptive Domain Environment for Operating Systems
Operating systems were born out of a desire to encompass system libraries and hardware abstraction software in order to offer users with a standardized application programming interface.
In turn, users became trapped in the operating system they chose and could not use applications developed for other operating systems.
As many different and incompatible operating systems, both source-wise and binary-wise, became adopted, the gap between the programmers and users of one OS and the programmers and users of another OS became wider and wider.

For example, we start by adding users onto a single system, add the system to the network, move on to configuring services such as NFS and NTP (which rely on the newly configured network), and so forth until we have built a complex of networked machines using NIS, NTP, and a multitude of other services.
We describe an environment consisting of a number of networked machines, including connections to the outside world.
These systems will be used as the basis for all the examples, although the chapters can be isolated and will remain general enough to be adapted to any system.
